Biggish offwhite head over dark red body. Deep, sharpish banana aroma with notes of licorice and spice, and, very faintly, traces of alcohol. Taste is again a deep, sharpish, harmonic mix of banana and licorice with bread, yeast, and peppery spice notes. Very complex. Smooth mouthfeel. Dry, peppery licorice aftertaste with yeast notes. Quite a bit of alcohol heat. (0.33l bottle.)

Bottle: Pored a hazy red with a off white creamy colored head. Aroma was that full of berry, mostly rasberry to my nose. Awesome fruit blast of rasberry and finished with malt flavor.

Very dark brown beer with red highlights, nearly no head. Strange, chemical-like nose, like somebody tried to make liquorice sweet in a reaction vat. A very slight background of a very sweet, cognac-based liqueur. A slight sourish, and human sweet flavour surrounding more malty flavours, liquorice, finishing very light. A bit empty, certainly in the ending, and certainly non-satisfying for ’t Anker. Where’s the thick raisin-and-brandy filled beer?

330ml bottle from Vinmonopolet (Harstad). Nice beige-yellow foam over a hazy, dark orange body. Candy sweet smell dominated by anise. There is also good amounts of anise in flavour. Hints of sweet, ripe citrus fruits remain in the background. A bit port-like impression. Aftertaste of yeast and warming alcohol. Almost full mouthfeel, but gets a bit too sweet and carbonated (13.12.2006).

This was beautiful, just a stunner! Poured a reddish brown with a full head. Featured a big phenolic bubble gum nose with hints of caramel floating about. The flavor was quite similar, not dominated by bubblegum, but punctuated with it, as it was all cut by a lively carbonation and tingle of alcohol. There was also a hint at fruitiness, perhaps apricot and rum raisin. Finished easy. Semi-sweet.

Bottle 75cl, vintage 2002, label says "Mechelse Reuzen - Consequente compensatie".
Good beer to celebrate Finnish independence and also my most expensive beer bottle ever.
Hazy orange color, good creamy white head. Fruity and yeasty nose, also some kind of woody notes. Someway similar ot some DDB beers. Bitter, honey sweet with alcoholic kick. Full-bodied malty background, also oaky notes in the flavor. After four years mouthfeel is very round. Beer to sip slowly.

Cask handpump at Thomas Ingoldsby, JDW, Canterbury. Gold colour with thin white head. Spicey aroma, like cinnamon. Soft golden ale in mouth. Then Belgian yeast kicks in. Spice and Belgian yeast aroma. Spicey pale fruits in mouth. Bit of green apple. Some syrupy fruit in mouth. Finish has yeast, pale fruit and some tangy hop. OK, if not wonderful.
